Can't get enough of this. The clip below shows Jon Stewartpwning media commentators who support Republican vice-presidential bet Sarah Palin. Definitely a must-see video, especially if you are closely following the upcoming U.S. elections.

I am guessing you don't watch The O'Reilly Factor - because Bill did address this issue. Bill criticized the Spears family on the main points that Britney and Jaime Lynn run wild and have no supervision by the parents - making those parents 'pinheads' as they don't have any control over their children.

He has never alluded to the fact that Palin allows her children to run wild and therefore has no control over them.

There is CLEARLY a difference. One family cannot control their children and ALLOWS them to do whatever they want while the other family tries to instill values to the best of their ability.

You can watch the segment HERE. Go to the left sidebar and click on Reality Check, then choose the story 'Atlanta Ambush' for the date 9/8/08 - the point of interest begins around 1 minute in.
